I don’t mean to tell the editors of the esteemed New York Times, the second-best newspaper after the Washington Post, how do do their jobs, but “Weird” or “Weird Al” should probably be in quotes.

There’s always some asshole to laugh at a guy for failing a rigged game. You agree that it’s unusually harsh and he doesn’t need to be in prison but you’re still cool with it because it helps you feel superior?

I had an idea once where a protagonist grapples with a personal challenge or obstacle, and, with the help of allies, manages to overcome it by the end of the story. I pitched this idea to everyone and quite a few lawsuits will be filed just as soon as I remember where I left my tweed lawsuit filing jacket.

Whether one is on probation or not, I really don’t think a moving violation, even an especially bone-headed one like that, should land one in a federal penn for multiple years. Particularly when the original offense is something the average white guy can usually get away with.

“Free will” isn’t really a relevant concept here, though. Prosecutors have tons of structural advantages in a court setting. They have a ton of wiggle room to overcharge people; they have the police on their side; they have all the evidence, and then get to decide which bits to dribble out to the defense. And for…

Fuck off, anyone with half a brain can see that the criminal justice system in the US is a fucking constant crime against humanity.

Our entire criminal justice system is absurd. This case is a disgraceful mockery.

Brinkley, meanwhile, wrote yesterday that sending Mill back to prison was “absolutely necessary”

thank god Jonathan is here, a month late, to defend the laying ability of human men. Great job, Jonathan.

Given Del Toro’s emphasis on production design, I’d believe that being the real issue.

Despite having seen you before, the fact that you have just now found that out makes me want to make a “first day on the internet?” joke.

“Dunkirk doesn’t have that problem”

More like...a boner to pick...AMIRITE?

My editors say that is too long. :(

"Huh, so possibly my son isn't just being a lazy jerk. Maybe I can use this perspective to come up with a more productive solution."

Such a great point. I feel this way a lot too — I often identify more strongly with my nieces, nephews and friend's kids than I do with my siblings and friends, at least when it comes to some of the challenges of parenting.

Functional question: as a childless female, how do you engage in conversation about child-rearing without infantilizing yourself?

You get to define what is meaningful to you, and obviously, there's more to you than being a mom. What I'm saying, is that (a) having children is universally recognized as a meaningful and important life choice, (b) that often it's portrayed as the only meaningful (or at least MUCH more) meaningful and important life…

You are really lucky to have a best friend with whom you can share your childfree experience. I feel so alone in mine. All of my friends and family have kids already or plan on having them really soon. They just have no idea how to be supportive of me, even though I spend a lot of time being supportive of their…
